May is here…
The past few
weeks has gone by quickly. We were able
to deliver the blankets to the hospital and the people were so excited. They could not get over the bright colors and
beautiful work by the people of ODBC! It
was like Christmas and they could not wait to go through the boxes and look at
each one. Thanks again for all your help
and support. I have been continuing to
meet with Eva and have been blessed by being invited to her home. God has allowed me to have opportunities to
fellowship with other ladies, in creative ways. One called wanting to have some adult
fellowship while her husband was in Greece for work, another helped clean and
prepare for her son’s birthday party, and another to get to know her better
before she heads off to Thailand. On Saturday, we had kids English and craft
time with 9 kids. We made keychain
holders or decorations for backpacks…whichever way you want to look at it. The kids had fun and enjoy learning English
through play with Rachel. This week we
have 2 holidays, May 1 is Labor Day and May 3rd is Constitution Day
(like our 4th of July). So
many people go away on vacation and this allows for me to meet up with others
and them not to come to me. Iwona and I
continue to work at Polish conversation.
I am thankful for some extra time of prayer and for getting things ready
for Kim and Sarah. So excited about them
coming to visit and helping me see Warsaw again through new eyes! J
Cup of Coffee version…
There are
little things that have been exciting for me – like being able to find new
places or take different stops off the metro or bus route. Also has been neat going on different bus
routes, to see how some areas are so different than others. To help you visualize a little – think of
driving in Brockport, then Greece and then over to Pittsford. It has been fun getting to know people and
getting to meet for coffee or go to their home and help them out. One friend is 5 months pregnant with her 3rd
child and not as active as she is used to being…so being able to help her clean
a little and help her feel better about the way her home looks – means a
lot. Also was able to bless a family
with a meal and that was really neat too! Good thing I like coffee – I am meeting some
friends for coffee or cooking at my apartment. There was an opportunity to share about our
ministry and I was asked when we will open a second location and if it will be
north of Warsaw. Other friends have been
so encouraging and wanting to share where I should take Kim and Sarah. They are also excited about meeting
them. So I
have a few more things to get in place and ready for a few weeks of fellowship
at my place. Thanks again for all your
prayers and support! J
